3.
Select Instrument Calibration.
Instrument Calibration is performed using the Benzonitrile sample only, so there is no material
selection list.
A confirmation screen similar to the Analyze Laser Warning screen (Figure 15) shows the laser
warning.
4.
Select the OK/ARM LASER soft key.
An Instrument Calibration scan screen instructs the user to position the Benzonitrile RAD-
supplied sample.
5.
Select the Scan soft key to start the sample-analysis cycle.
Similar to Identification application scans, the sample-analysis cycle starts, goes through four
major phases, and then shows the Instrument Calibration on-screen results for the RAD-
supplied sample profile.
If the result is Pass, select
(Cancel/Back) to return to the Main screen.
Perform the Performance Verification procedure again to ensure a PASS.
Or:
If the result is Fail, reposition the Benzonitrile standard in the sample holder and repeat the
above Calibration steps. Contact your organization’s primary system administrator, RAD or
your local RAD representative.
Preparing to Scan: Hazardous or Volatile Materials
In a potentially hazardous environment, for thermally reactive materials or if samples are unknown, it is
recommended that a liquid aliquot be taken from a bulk solution and placed in a smaller sample to
ensure personal safety and limit the possibility of any reaction from the scan.
1.
Place a portion of the substance into a glass or plastic container that is not opaque. 4 mL
standard glass vials are most common.
2.
Loosely fix the cap on the vial and place in the vial adaptor.
3.
Scan the material using all appropriate safety precautions
Note:
If further precautions are required select the
(Scan Delay optional) soft key prior to scanning
Note:
If material is dark and potentially thermally reactive DO NOT SCAN.
Dark materials will absorb energy from the photons and are not appropriate materials for Raman
spectroscopy.
Do not seal highly volatile or explosive materials in any container prior to scan with a Raman
laser.
